[sammy talbot]

The fish in my profile pic was caught on one

[neilb2013]

Awesome what retrieve is best with it

[sammy talbot]

Slow to medium retrieve with small taps of the rod tip to make it walk, when you start using one you will poberly slip into a action that suits you,

[neilb2013]

Nice 1 thanks for the info have you used xorus patchinko II

[sammy talbot]

Nice 1 thanks for the info have you used xorus patchinko II

That's the one I was talking about

[PAUL1971]

Deadly on its day but takes alot of practice and patients
to get the lure working correct...slow retrive will get you
the bigger bass and faster retrive will get you the smaller
bass mate thats what ive found out anyways

[sammy talbot]

Takes no practice at all. As long as your using braid , keep your line tight n slow to medium retrieve and small jerks of the rod tip and it will walk its self.

[PAUL1971]

there is a nack to it

is this the first time you have used the xorus patchinko mate if so you will defo need to practice because reeling in and working the lure having to keep tight line aint as easy as people are making out to be matey

[Bassboyo]

Both size patchinkos account for a lot of fish, one of my favourite lures along with being one if the easiest to work. You can wake them , pop them , slide them & walk the dog. Within half a dozen casts you will work this lure, it's not complicated at all.

[PAUL1971]

Thats easy for us to say but if the
ladd is new to the lure game it wont be that easy for him

[PAUL1971]

You need to take in consideration what rod he be using
aswell if the rod he is using is to.soft it makes it harder to
work the lure also length of rod comes.in to play the shorter
the rod and the stiffer the better it will be.so you cant say to lad you will
have it walking with in a few casts

also its difficult to reel slow and work the tip of rod slow
at the same speed as your brain has to work reel and tip at the same time

[Bassboyo]

The question was about patchinkos not how long his rod is !! What you thinking about that for anyway Paul1971 lol

It's certainly not complicated to work a patchinkos,if your looking at £20 lures then I take it he's not planning on throwing them on a 2.99 woolys set up.
My brain works that fast I could work one on a hand line lol

Salt Water Lure Fishing for Beginners by Iestyn Jones & Keith White

In this article we have gone away from our usual format of having one writer give us their views, in this article we have two of the UK’s most successful Bass and predator anglers in a Q&A session, aimed at beginners wishing to have a go for sal****er Bass or even more experienced anglers looking for a few extra tips in this article we feel there is something for everyone!

What type of rod?
Iestyn: Stiff rods with a fast action are the choice for fishing topwater baits, lures such as poppers need to be worked by the angler imparting the desired action into the lure via the rod. The stiffness enables more control and contact whilst working them and getting the best action.

Keith: Another great reason for a stiffer tipped rod is the use of a range of lures loosely termed 'Jerkbaits'. Like above, the rod should move the lure and not the lure move the rod. Many of today's modern styled lures are designed to be worked in certain ways. This is covered later in this article.

Iestyn:Soft tipped rods are very user friendly. They are also suitable for fishing most hard baits and soft baits. The modern day sal****er lure angler specifically seeks a softer tip rod for fishing soft plastics and for more finesse styles.

Keith:Soft tipped rods can be useful for lures that contact the bottom or for working lures very fast in more open water. If you are winding fast, make sure you do not point the rod, soft or stiff, at the lure. Keep a safety angle or, all the pressure of a take falls on your line. This can lead to disastrous consequences. It's called a 'smash take'.

Iestyn:Rod lengths, modern lure rods tend to be 6-9 feet in length. For shore fishing 8’ and 8`6" are regarded as the ideal length, providing plenty of casting power and control over the lure due to the nature of the ground fished. The shorter 6-7’ rods are better suited to boat and kayak fishing due to restricted space and movement.

this should point you in rite direction neil
